Robert Farago has reviewed the new 2006 Honda Civic on The Truth About Cars. Ultimately, he concludes that “the new Civic is just too wacky to capture the hearts of its core clientele.” It boasts all the virtues that made the original such a success– reliability, practicality, frugality and comfort, but “the Civic faithful will not be well-pleased by the disconcerting view out the windscreen and the bizarre instrumentation in front of them.” Farago says the Civic’s design is too futuristic: “It’s one thing to watch an X-wing fight its way through tie fighters. It’s another to drive one though traffic.”

I totally disagree. I find the new interior to be innovative, imaginitive, and usefully laid out. I look forward to seeing this design implemented in other models as well. Honda has always taken a conservative approach to design that I think needs to be spiced up a bit. Yes, I have been a long time Honda owner and will continue to be so as long as the styles get more interesting.
Cheers
